With any other player, I'd say a yellow card would have been enough. Not with de Rossi, though. He has at least one mean foul in every game he's playing and is the kind of player who should actually be pre-booked before kick-off. The man has a serious problem, which is a shame, as he is a fine player. Unfortunately, he's also an ahole. Heck, Michael Essien epitomizes fairplay compared to de Rossi. It's too bad USA did not win the game...
